Medication access blocked by poor communication systems
I experienced significant difficulties accessing my prescribed medications, which resulted in having to discontinue several medications over a short period. This situation arose due to what I perceived as organisational failures and insufficient support. I found it extremely challenging to receive assistance, and my interactions with the practice felt frustrating and unproductive. I was troubled by the communication approach used, which included brief unanswered phone calls followed immediately by lengthy text messages. On one occasion when I managed to answer during one of these calls, no one responded, yet I received a message shortly after that appeared to have been written well before the call was made. I felt this communication pattern was evasive and made it difficult to have a genuine dialogue or hold the practice accountable for commitments made. I would caution others about registering with this practice due to significant barriers to contact. The practice operates through an administrative intermediary team that appears to lack access to patient medical records and appointment details. This system creates substantial obstacles when attempting to reach the practice for support. I question the effectiveness and justification of maintaining a team in this capacity, as it seems to complicate rather than facilitate access to care when patients need assistance.
I have only positive feedback regarding this medical practice. Since relocating to the area, my family and I have consistently been able to obtain appointments without difficulty. The team members..
